Real World Experience. Life-Changing Results.
New BW Kid: I’m not sure if Business World is for me...who comes to BW?
Alisa Jane Pergolski: Kids from all over Wisconsin come to BW. Whether you are interested in Business as a possible future career, or its just something that sounds fun, ANYONE in high school can come to Business World.
Stef Yordan: When my mom told me I was going to “business camp” I was less than thrilled because I thought I would be the ONLY normal kid there. But everyone comes to BW!
New BW Kid: Why should I come to Business World?
Stef Yordan: You should come to BW because it really helps put a business career into perspective. Whether it’s working with a team or working solo on a project, being at BW helped me improve my skills and gave me an idea of what the real business world is all about. I met people from all over WI and we still keep in touch! It’s so cool to have new friends from all around the state!
Ashley Joanne: More like...why shouldn’t you?! You’ve got nothing to lose! You’ll learn, have TONS of fun and for sure make new friends that have the same interests as you.
New BW Kid: Can I bring a friend to room with in the dorms?
Haley Laundrie: I have been to Business World twice and both years a roommate was selected for me and I was thrown into a room with three other random girls. I met lifelong friends and by the end of BW year #2 my roommates and I were best friends!
Ashley Joanne: Absolutely! But if your friends can’t make it, no problem! I didn’t bring a friend my first year, and ended up being roomed with someone I had never met, from Omro, WI. We’re super close now!
New BW Kid: What will I do at Business World?
Alisa Jane Pergolski: You will do many things at Business World. You will learn first hand how businesses are run and will learn it from many devoted adults who live and breathe in the business world. You will also meet many new friends, have fun with a college like experience, and get the chance to test your business skills by running your own company!
Ashley Joanne: You will be put into a group of kids your age from surrounding area high schools. Together you will form a company and work together to create a product that will be judged...and of course, have fun every step of the way!
Haley Laundrie: I didn’t know what to expect, and I had no idea what we were even going to do at BW. But once I was put into my Company and met all my new friends, we combined great minds together and made an awesome product from a pile of junk! It’s so fun!
New BW Kid: So, was it worth it?
Alisa Jane Pergolski: Absolutely! The leadership and teamwork skills I learned really helped me prepare for college. Plus, they award a college scholarship at each program so you should definitely apply for that!
Danny Suprenant: Totally worth it. It’s perfect timing because now I’m applying for colleges and BW looks great on a resume. It helped me figure out a few career paths too.

It costs the WMC Foundation $500 for each student who attends BW, but because of the financial support of businesses around the state, we are able to apply sponsor dollars to each student, lowering the cost we ask families to pay to just $150 for four days and nights of lodging and expenses at a Wisconsin college. For those families that are able, if you would like to cover the full cost of participation, freeing up sponsorships for other students, the cost is $500.

Information for Parents
Since 1982, over 14,000 high school students have attended Business World. Kids come from all over Wisconsin and from all different backgrounds. Some are gung ho business students, some are curious about pursuing a business degree in college, and some just thought it sounded like a fun experience and a great way to meet new friends.
Students form imaginary companies and act as an executive management team with the task of turning their “company” into a financial success. In just four short days, student companies will invent a product from everyday items, build a prototype, design marketing materials, present at a tradeshow, perform a commercial skit, listen to business speakers, tour a local company, work closely with a business mentor, and meet kids from all corners of the state! All of which culminates in the students writing a business plan and presenting to a panel of “Shareholders”. It is a lightning fast four days that is sure to be one of the highlights of the summer!
